    I guess it all depends on what the awkward situation was. It's not completely clear to me.

    If it was that the 2 guys went to a game and ended up with the crowd who rooted for the other team, then it makes as much sense as any other ad does.

    I guess now the guy knows how US fans would feel at a soccer game, all the other team's fans outnumber us 10 to 1. Though everything seems to point that that trend is changing now.

    If there WAS a huge uproar about it then 70% of movies would have to have been guilty of it at some point in their plot.

    I think this is hilarious no matter which way you look at it. I laugh at the unintentional joke the ad itself made and also at the stupidity of the crybabies getting all uppity about it.

    I'm pretty sure there's tons of people who would find that lulz-worthy.
